  1. Backups

    you never appreciate the troubles ransomware causes UNTIL you are hit we had a client who narrowly missed having to pay a $350,000 ransom (they were in the process of buying the bitcoin...) we had a "specialist" involved who did absolutely nothing other than offer to broker the bit coin...

    a friend from a major law firm tellls me that when a gov't agency files an administrative subpoena asking for information, INSTEAD OF guarding your privacy many of the big players respond with this is an inconvenience, why don't we just send your EVERYTHING this person has. back up locally...

  4. Backups

    As long as data is in 2places you are pretty safe. but, I have had 2different clients over the years DROP the external drive on the way to hook it up to copy files from it. both times DATA RECOVERY cost around $750. it is worth mentioning, if you backup your data. UNPLUG THE DRIVE AND PUT IN A...

  9. Not Really Surprised...

    In the 1970’s I worked with & reported to “Fred”. in 1976 we bought Fred a Casio calculator for around $125. ALMOST OVERNIGHT, Fred lost the ability to add numbers in his head (and count on his fingers…) I am not optimistic what the effect of AI will be
  10. Not Really Surprised...

    in all fairness, i have to point out that we would always have a plethora of dullards, even in the absence of AI it really isn't AI making them stupid. it bothers me more that those developing AI feel obligated to follow the plot line of their favorite science fiction movie and have AI attempt...

    in 2017 a major client had a ransomware incident. we recovered everything over a weekend. THE LAST THING we worried about was the onedrive stuff. microsoft had it all backed up. THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO MY CLIENT until 34 days later i was moving towards retirement so another MSP was our...
  13. window perf, hp315 and head strikes

    but, you would think that paper absorbs quite a bit of humidity plastic should not be hydroscopic, BUT anyone who does 3D printing can tell you that if you store your filament improperly it sounds like you are making popcorn
  14. WARNING TO PRINT SHOPS – DO NOT BUY A ROLAND PRINTER

    Wow. that explains a lot so i guess that turns it into a licensing nightmare

    a console humidifier might pay for itself very quickly Jburton got my attention, all you would need to do is close the gap between how much the backing paper absorbs & what the perf absorbs.
  16. window perf, hp315 and head strikes

    i am the worst as far as storing my materials improperly. that being said, would it help to store the perf in a bag with something hydroscopic (rice, or some of those little capsules that come in my prilosec? if we can control how much moisture the paper absorbs, you could minimize the situation
  17. WARNING TO PRINT SHOPS – DO NOT BUY A ROLAND PRINTER

    that sounds like it would do exactly the opposite very few software companies deal properly with the complexities of hyperthreading and multiple cpu cores. we have some ghastly slow dell optiplexes at a number of clients they are gen 12 I5's and according to device manager they have 20 cores...
